Title: Adaptive wait in data communications
Inventor: JARKKO PASO
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2015-08-03
Abstract: A receiver node is selected 104 from a set of receiver nodes having different processing delays and a first packet is transmitted. If the round trip time measured 122 for an acknowledgement received 120 by the transmitter is less than the calculated 108 or known 110 expected acknowledgement wait duration then the round trip time 122 becomes the basis for the new expected acknowledgement wait duration 124. A safety factor may also be added to the new expected acknowledgement wait duration. A second packet is then transmitted and if no acknowledgement is received before expiry of the new expected acknowledgement wait duration 114 a retransmission 118 is attempted. If the number of transmission retries exceeds a threshold or the validity lifetime of the new expected acknowledgement wait duration expires this may cause the acknowledgement wait duration to be reset to its original value. The acknowledgement wait duration may be defined by a protocol standard such as the MAC communications standard.

Title: Hydraulic fracturing simulation
Inventor: MARTIN DUTKO
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2017-06-07
Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and computer method of modelling hydraulically driven fractures comprising: predicting fracture direction and geometry using finite element methods and inserting a new fracture into the model using a geometric insertion technique. The fracture evolves via the solution of a coupled finite element geomechanical mechanical-seepage-network system. Fracture insertion occurs through five sequential modules forming a processor unit comprising: a fracture predictor, predicting fracture direction and length. Mode-1 failure is captured via Mohr-Coulomb with a Rankine cap constitutive model and failure path predicted; a fracture rule modifier ensuring fracture direction and length are physically realistic and mitigating small geometric detail that could cause meshing difficulties. e.g. ensuring proposed fracture paths terminate with pre-existing fractures or bedding planes; a fracture geometry inserter preparing the geometry for local remeshing; a fracture tip mesher which automatically expands the amount of elements to be remeshed to maintain a reasonable mesh density gradient; and a rebuild module to rebuild model geometry and map stresses and material state between old and new patch meshes.

Title: A lighting device
Inventor: JACOB DYSON
IPC: F21V21/14
Filed: 2017-08-15
Abstract: A lighting device includes a support 42 and an arm 44 which is mountable on the support 42 in a selected orientation for movement relative thereto. The arm 44 has upper and lower channels (94, 96, Fig. 4) extending at least partially along the length of the arm. A light source 84 is mounted on the arm 44. A first electrical connector 70 is mounted on the support 42, and a second electrical connector 98 is mounted on the arm 44. The second electrical connector 98 is detachably electrically connected to the first electrical connector 70, and is moveable along a channel with lengthwise movement of the arm 44 relative to the support 42. The arrangement allows the user to reverse the orientation of the light source 84 about a vertical axis without rotating the support 42, and this allows the rear surface of the support 42 and any components mounted thereto, to remain out of the line of sight of the user.
